Thinking about things

I didn't like the way my latest post was so mean spirited. I was surprised to see that man watering the neighbors mostly dead lawn. His face told me a story. Later I was thinking what a heavy load that kind of daily hate is. Heavy to always be mad at a neighbor. Painful because you're beating your head against a wall wanting them to change when they aren't going to. Then if they start to hate you back you get a doubly heavy load. It's bad because you can't get away from your self and your idea of what you think is supposed to be real.

I'm not talking about the kind of trouble people have living next to criminals or wife beaters, same thing. I'm thinking about people who hate for little nitpicking poop. There's no way the world is going to live up to our standards, we need to recognize what's real and deal with it.
